Help Secure Air Monitoring by Signing Petition

By the Clean Air Coalition of WNY

Air monitoring by the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation (DEC) in Tonawanda has been critical to diagnosing the air
pollution challenges, holding polluters accountable and tracking
progress to reduce dangerous emissions.
The DEC is considering shutting one of the two remaining air monitors
in Tonawanda. We can't let that happen!

We are also asking for an air
monitor to be placed on Buffalo's lower West Side to monitor harmful
matter from diesel emissions in the neighborhoods. It's not right that a
known toxic hot spot is not being monitored by the state.

The Coalition has been knocking on doors in Tonawanda and the West
Side collecting signatures on postcards that we will deliver to
legislators. We have also started an online petition to demonstrate support for this critical community need. Will you take
30 seconds to sign the petition and pass it along to your networks?
